Some quick answers:
1) I don't remember at the moment; I remember seeing something about the delays being handled in the analog domain (which would allow them to also apply to the 6 channel input), but I don't remember if it was official or speculation.
2) I actually just answered almost the exact same question a minute ago. Here's what I typed regarding bass management and stereo bypass mode (copied and pasted from
this thread ):
When in stereo bypass mode, the main speakers get a full range signal (unavoidable, since the signal bypasses the bass management, which takes place in the digital domain). If the mains are set to "small", however, the 950 will take a copy of the signal, convert it to digital, apply bass management based on the crossover setting for the main speakers, and generate a signal for the subwoofer. This means that to get subwoofer output in stereo bypass mode, you need to have the mains set to "small." Some people are worry about the double bass present in this mode (the low frequency data sent to the sub is also being delivered to the main speakers), but the theory behind the 950's design is that if the crossover point is selected properly it is not likely to be an issue -- the speakers will not be able to reproduce the low frequency information that the sub is handling, at least not at any significant level.
